Martin, it is interesting that you mention use by the VC in Vietnam.
I was recently at a show in the US and a guy there had an example of a captured M72 tube which had been modified into a launcher. The Vietnamese were very creative in using America's discards in any way possible. Even empty tin cans became the basis for rudimentary booby traps by inserting a grenade inside tied to a tripwire.
